Current Wildfire and Smoke Conditions

Our thoughts are with the heroic first responders and firefighters; our neighbors in the City of Malibu and Ventura County; and, the Los Angeles County residents who have been impacted by wildfires.

As the official destination marketing organization for Los Angeles, visitor safety is our utmost priority. We work closely with local, state, and federal officials as well as with our partners to ensure that we collectively deliver on this objective.

At this time, the Woolsey fire, which was impacting Ventura County and the City of Malibu, is fully contained. There is no structural or logistical impact to the City of Los Angeles that would affect visitors, and no smoke advisories to be aware of.

We encourage visitors with plans involving Malibu hotels or attractions to reach out directly to those entities or visit their respective social pages for the most current and accurate information.

NOTIFYLA

NotifyLA is the City of Los Angeles’ mass notification system used to provide information regarding necessary actions, such as evacuations, to Los Angeles residents, businesses and subscribers via recorded phone messages, text messages or e-mail in case of emergencies or critical situations. Because NotifyLA uses the 911 database, only land-line numbers are automatically included in the system. In order to receive a notification via your cell phone, Voice over IP (VoIP) number or email, you must register those telephone numbers and/or e-mail address in NotifyLA. NotifyLA uses geomapping so alerts are targeted by geographic location. That means, alerts will only be sent to the subscribers in the area impacted by the emergency. Register Now →
